Why it was refused

  1. The proposal comprises the siting of two padel courts. It is not considered that there is an essential need for this to be located in the countryside or that the countryside is the only appropriate location for such a proposal. It is also not considered that the proposal is essential for nature conservation or fishing or essential to the operational requirements of existing facilities. As such, it is considered the proposal is contrary to Policies CS4 and CS24 of the Core Strategy and contrary to policy SP7 of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD.
  2. This site is located in open countryside and within the defined Rutland Water Area. The proposed building by virtue of its siting, size, scale and massing, would be located in a prominent position above the southern shore of Rutland Water, would be visible from various viewpoints and appear as an incongruous feature in the wider landscape, to the detriment of the character of the countryside and the Rutland Water Area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Section 12 of the NPPF, Policies CS19 and CS24 of the Rutland Core Strategy, Policies SP7, SP15 and SP23 of the Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document and Policy EW-DH01 of the adopted neighbourhood Plan.
